So this has spurred a LOT of research on my part.... So right now we separate genetics by very vauge and somewhat basic understanding... we are messing with mostly a couple alleles, but not dealing with the other alleles that might directly impact the others. For example, going human here cause I haven't crossed over to reptile yet...

You can have two humans with blue eyes make babies with blue eyes, however, if each parent or one parent carries dominant gene for melanin then the eyes will be blue with brownish tints possible leaving to a hazel or green. I am kinda interpreting this as the different pastels out there.

Then going to the spider wobble, the allele protein that causes the reduced pattern is similarly coded or bonded to the "wobble gene"

With that said, broken co-dom genes, which in turn are alleles capable of co exsisting visualy with dominant homozygous genes, CAN be passed with out displaying the trait. Aka a broken Co-dom gene for pastel could be in a visual normal, but due to it being broken... it does not act as a co-dom, it is recessive... Mix back with another normal that MIGHT carry a broken co dom, could result in the co-dom trait being displayed in the offspring.

Guess the best example I can come up with is both my parents having brown eyes, and both families having full heads of hair back three generations, yet I have Hazel Eyes and my brother and I both have bald spots.

I never understood how snakes could have retained sperm from a year ago, which kinda spurred this idea. But this is more a possibility, kinda like the paradox morphs.

Don't bash too hard, seriously trying to answer my own questions and get thoughts from others who have more hands on experience of genetics and not just theoretical...
